*******Official Armed Assault 2 thread of official officialness*******

Some good looking screens there.
I do see some jaggies there though, and you mention its running great for you so maybe try some 133% fillrate ?

I'll play around with the fillrate, but personally I like how it's looking at the moment. Going to turn on AA through the cfg file and see how it handles :)

Fillrate optimizer is now hidden in the 3D resolution option. It is the same thing they just changed the name.

FSAA is not fully supported yet (it removes shadows), you can't tweak it in the options menu. You can get it working by changing value in your ArmA2.cfg file.

FSAA=0; Disabled
FSAA=1; Low
FSAA=2; Medium
FSAA=3; High

FSAA will be completely supported in one of the futures patchs (Full AA suport is expected in 1.03)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does AA even remove shadows when applied through the config file?
 
Mine's running absolutely brilliant. All "Very High", 1920x1200 - only thing I had to turn down was the viewing distance, but it's still damn good.

Screenshots are 1920x1200, so I'll just link to them:

Spec are in sig. Running really well considering I only have a E6600 & GTX260, both at stock.

What FPS are you getting.
 
Excellent!!. I'm actually kinda stuck now, I'm on one of the Harvest Red missions where your C.O. briefs you, you go talk to the Intel guy and then three camps are marked on your map. Been to them all and ( wont divulge the details for spoiler reasons ) still haven't accomplished anything. Right now I'm just driving around the mountain roads not knowing what to do next. :(

I'm in a similar position. I have managed to capture one of the bad guys but the second and most important, i have no idea where he is.
Been driving around the mountain roads and currently getting shot up bad in a village just south of the furthest X on the map.
The scenary up in the hills has to be seen to be believed.
 
Yeah, I was minding my own business driving down the road with my team in the HUMVEE and all of a sudden I was told I had completed the objective of capturing the second most important guy. Totally out of the blue. Hadn't even clapped eyes on him.

Since my last post there I have still been driving around in circles and having read a few threads on the Bis forums I have now ended up in a village called Novy Sobor. Apparently if you speak to some villagers, it gives you an idea on what to do next but I can't find anyone to speak to.

Quite frustrating. :mad:
 
How do you adjust mouse sensitivity & speed in this game? My mouse moves farrrrr too quickly :(

Thanks.

There's an X & Y axis adjustment in the options for the mouse - turn both down equally.

What FPS are you getting.

About 30 - I find this game doesn't need very high FPS at all due to the speed of the game. I usually do notice when a game goes below 60FPS, but this one seems fine at 30 :)

Following screenshots are with everything on high, with FSAA=3 (no shadows due to the FSAA) - I turned it down from very high as it was dropping to 15FPS every so often, can't expect too much from my GTX260/E6600 stock combo.

attachTo is such a fun command, open Editor make something like a cow or anything, then make a parachute (under Empty > air), give them names and in the Cow just add cow attachTo [chute, [0,0,0]] and watch stuff fall from the sky xD

Ha, ha you wisely chose screenies where shadows would not be visible much.
Can you play without the shadows though ? I find it too offputting.
 
Anyone make some short videos of actual in game footage? Would be nice to get some other than the ones on the tube already. Maybe a fire fight?

Do people use other programs for video capture besides FRAPS.
I am having problems recording sound with it. Do you have to do anything special with fraps to record sound ?
